Former governor Juan Carlos Abadía has been transferred to Villahermosa prison, reportedly after feigning illness to avoid the move.
Former governor Juan Carlos Abadía has been transferred to the Villahermosa prison. Reports indicate he feigned illness to avoid the relocation, a move his legal representative, Abelardo De La Espriella, characterized as an attempt to evade justice. The transfer proceeded despite Abadía's alleged attempts to circumvent it.
This development pertains to ongoing legal proceedings against the former governor. The assertion that he "believed himself untouchable" suggests a history of perceived impunity, making his transfer to a correctional facility a notable event in the Colombian judicial landscape.
